booting from a cdrom. Your check is something completely different. Might
be better to make a new test just for your purposes, rather than risk

4) From here, things should be handled a lot better AFA mirroring (before
being made world readable to the public), but I'll leave that to the
debian-cd folks to decide how to make that better.

Makes much more sense to me. First revision means you revised something.
So we can't call the first potato release revision 1 because we didn't
revisise 2.2 at all. IMO r1 should be what we call the next point release.

That should take care of it. The reason being that sparc bootable CD is a
